Hi Joel,
I like this photo of the impressive castle and you have really made a fine capture here with an interesting note. I also appreciate the map reference, we travel every year to this part of France and it is therefore quite nice to have all the details on where the photo was taken. Are there any hotels here?
Regards
Gunnar

Hi Joel, A great overview of this wonderful old castle, the person in the foreground gives a superb prospective of size, very good light & detail, an interesting triangle construction, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Joel!
Another nice castle! I particularly like the little roofs of the towers, maybe because they are not very common here. I like the pov (it really seems small from here) and also the presence of that tourist!
